The Power of One - I AM

I just finished watching the documentary, I AM.  To say that it touched me would be putting it mildly!  Tom Shadyac, the creator of this documentary, shares the wisdom gained when he went in search for the answers to two questions. 1. What is wrong with the world? 2. What can we do about it?

Here is the trailer for the movie.   
  


What resonated with me, almost immediately, was the idea that our hearts give off an electromagnetic charge that is picked up by others around us.  This is the reason why when some people come into our space we begin to feel uneasy or stressed, while others give us feelings of peace and love.  We do this on an unconscious level.  Imagine if we consciously promoted love and cooperation, even in the face of difficulties?  

I would like to challenge my readers to an experiment.  For one week, begin every day with consciously focusing on loving, thankful and cooperative thoughts.  Throughout our day, when we feel stressed, upset, or disappointed, let us re-focus our attention on love, gratitude and cooperation.  At the end of the day, let us count the blessings that came our way.

By the end of the week, return here and share some of what you discovered.  Let us create a wave of Love that will engulf the world!

Namasté!

Hyacinths to Feed Thy Soul

Image
As we progress through Poetry Month, I have been reading many of my old poetry books. Some are journals into which Momma placed her favorites poems, which are now my favorite poems. One of my absolute top ten poems is: If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft, And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, Sell one, and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul. This beautiful verse was written by MOSLIH EDDIN (MUSLIH-UN-DIN) SAADI (SADI ) , who was a major Persian poet of the medieval times. It is just one of the many beautiful verses in his book Gulistan ("The Rose Garden") . (Photo Credit) ~~~~~~ Also from Gulistan, is the verse which visitors find at the entrance to the United Nations Hall of Nations. It reads: Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul . If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain. If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot ...

Grandchildren Connections - Guest Post

Image
 Today, I have the honor of sharing a guest post with the author of I Can't Wait to Love You Forever, Patricia Eckerman Ambas.  I highly recommend this book both for the content and the illustrations. I wished I had a copy of it way back when I was raising my girls. Patricia is a talented writer. I hope you enjoy her post. Grandchildren Connections Grandparents are powerful forces. The ones who can be the second parents, but more of the love and fun, and less of the discipline. Not even close to being a grandmother yet, I consider myself close to the source of what grandchildren want (as a beloved and loving granddaughter myself) and raising three children who have a close connection with both sets of grandparents. I have two tips to share with you that can begin to cultivate a stronger relationship with your grandchildren.  One of the reasons I’m sharing on this topic is that I’m finding some of my biggest book fans are grandparents. They love buying my books for their g...

His answers are quite simple and surprising – even something like his blanket will rate on the list. We’re happy that, so far, both Mo...
